Helmut, your findings are interesting, too. If the problem I
experience is related to your experience, why would I.E. be taking
longer than other browsers to download? I think they may be unrelated.
Also, even after the mp3's are in my I.E. 6 cache, the sound still
won't play. If I type in the mp3 URL directly, it plays in Windows
MediaPlayer. Then, very rarely, the same sound will successfully play
in the swf, but usually not. I may try regenerating the MP3 files in
Audition -- I think I set them for MP3Pro and maybe the standard MP3
would have more success.
As for download time, I'm on cable connection, so the images appear
within a second or two. The images average 20 KB. Unfortunately the
second image is 54 KB, so I should probably reduce it to half the
size, or have a loading indicator so the user isn't confused by the
wait. The MP3 files average 9.8KB and none is larger than 15 KB. They
don't compete for bandwidth, since they are available only after the
associated image has loaded.
Thanks,
Marc

Hold that thought, it works on WIN XP IE7 the problem is that the images
take too long to load and there is not a built in preloader, so it is
hard
to know that something is happening in the background, after I sent
my email
I opened your page again and everything was there and working properly.
